I'm assuming when you say blowback you're referring to recoil the way you phrased it. It's typical in lower end markers, when you pull the trigger your marker will fly back in your hand. When you're shooting at a relatively high BPS, this can make for some extreme accuracy problems. The best way to deal with this is to just live with it until you can afford a new marker. You can buy upgrades to help reduce it, but that money would be better spent towards a new marker that would have a drastically less recoil effect than an upgrade could offer.

If you still decide you want to upgrade, head over to the forum that corresponds to your marker and look at the upgrade stickies. Common upgrades for recoil would be a delrin or some type of milled/lighter bolt, a new ram, spring sets, etc.

I'm pretty sure this is what you meant. If you were referring to blowback as in the category of marker, ie Spyders or Tippmanns, that's a whole different question entirely.

it sounds lyk he might be referring to sumthing more lyk blowbye, lyk air gettin up in the feed neck, n keepn the balls from feeding right.

if u r refering to recoil than try a titanium striker by dark horizon. read the reviews n c wut u think, also a delrin, or nylatron bolt will help.

We need spelling and grammar police ASAP, anyways blowback is bad and will happen on lower-end markers, it is when air exhausts up your feedneck and pushes the balls up.

Blow back is the gun blowing you're bolt back instead of an ep gun.
wich sends air up the feedneck and causing misfeeds sometimes.
It cant really be fixed,well kind of i dont know how.

A harder valve spring and a good bolt fit will fix most blowback problems.

Possibly a little porting in the right place would also help.
